Percival (パーシヴァル?), Class Name Lancer (ランサー, Ransā?), is a Lancer-class Servant summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.
Profile[]
Identity[]
Percival, the Holy Knight of the Dove (白鳩の聖なる騎士?),[1] was a member of the Knights of the Round Table, led by King Arthur, holding the 2nd Seat. He grew up in the forest and embarked on a quest for the Holy Grail alongside Sir Galahad and Sir Bors.
A knight belonging to King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table in Britain. He holds the second seat at the Round Table. Perceval de Galles.
An honourable knight, occasionally referred to as an unadulterated fool. A spearmaster, a knight who has witnessed the miracle of the Holy Grail, a compassionate knight who has saved the lives of many. He is also a knight who safeguards Longinus, a holy lance different from the one possessed by the King of Knights.
The Holy Grail was destined to be summoned to Heaven together with Galahad, whereas the Holy Spear Longinus was destined to remain on Earth. In this story rendition, Sir Percival is said to be the one who brought back the Holy Spear. Percival the Knight also makes an appearance in Wagner's last opera, Parsifal. In this opera, he is depicted as the person who recovers and inherits the Holy Spear.[2]
Percival's enemy in the search for the Holy Spear was Klingsor.[4] Kundry, who served Klingsor, was Percival's true love.[1] She was Percival's first kiss,[5] and though her kisses had the power to enthrall men Percival never lost sight of himself, which allowed him to confront Klingsor.[4] During their battle Klingsor used Longinus on Percival, only for Percival to take the spear's magical energy from the attack and throw it back at him. Percival then returned the energy to the spear, recompleting it.[4] When he obtained the spear, flowers left by Kundry bloomed around the throne of Klingsor's fortress.[5][4]
Kundry is cursed to reincarnate eternally and serve men of strength in every life, only to be used as a tool and cast aside, until she is at last united with him and granted the salvation of death.[1]
Appearance[]
According to Mordred, Percival never wore a helmet.[6] His shoulderplate was originally a shield, but eventually he decided to wear it as armor because doing so means he can use his spear at the same time.[3]
Personality[]
He is someone who looked up to King Arthur more than anyone else.[7] He was the man that every knight in the Round Table trusted the most. Gawain could relax his guard around him, and ask for advice. Gawain feels that when Percival was still alive was probably the Round Table's golden age.[3]
He dislikes men cheating on their spouses.[3]
He was small and timid as a child.[3]
Besides Galahad, Percival may be the only other Knight of the Round Table worthy to obtain the Holy Grail.[8]
He will heap on a mountain of food on your plate for every meal.
A sincere guardian knight who values decorum. On other occasions he has been described as pure-hearted. He acts calmly, without doubting or losing his temper at others. He is well-liked by children and animals that meet him for the first time, though said person is unaware of this fact. When he was alive, he used to stand in Camelot's garden in the morning sunlight, letting little birds rest on his shoulders and arms.
It is during battle that he shows a harsher side of himself. But only during battle.
A very caring person. He frequently fusses over his juniors, especially those younger than him. He also wants to take good care of Master. This is because he genuinely wants to protect and raise the youth who will grow up to become outstanding heroes in the future. His objects of affection in the Round Table include the young Gareth, the apprentice knight Bors, and Sir Lancelot's son Galahad.
"Sir Percival is more of a big brother to me than my actual big brothers," Gareth declared with a smile when she was still alive.
...Hearing these words after Gareth's death, Percival stood in the now-empty garden of Camelot, shedding a single tear.[2]
After learning about his Lostbelt version and his relationship with Melusine, Percival wishes to befriend her.[5]
Role[]
Fate/Grand Order[]
Camelot/Zero[]
Percival and the other Knights, apart from Bedivere and Galahad, are summoned by the Lion King. The Lion King tells them to choose to either help her with her "Holy Selection" or side against her, giving them a half a day to think. Percival politely talks with all other knights and then weeps alone afterward.[9]
Percival ultimately sides against the Lion King, being killed in the following battle against his fellow knights.

In Fate/Requiem, Percival is mentioned as Kundry's true love, and she will not be able to die for good until she reunites with him.[1]
Abilities[]
Being a Knight of the Round Table, Percival is one of the greatest knights to ever live and a hero sung of in legends. As such, when summoned as a Servant, he boasts indisputable fame and strength.[11] When it comes to Heroic Spirits, Percival would be the "cream of the crop" like the other Knights of the Round Table. He can be summoned using a piece of the Round Table as a catalyst.[12]
According to Gawain in Fate/Grand Order, Percival had a knack when it came to cooking with root vegetables. Gawain was only second best after him.
Gawain, who claims to be among the most skilled chess players at the Round Table, regards Percival and Galahad as his worthy rivals.[13]

The general term for the knights who left their names in King Arthur’s legend. They are called the Knight of the Round Table because they gathered around a round table along with King Arthur. The knights sitting around the table were all regarded as equal to one another, including the King himself, and they were admired throughout the country. Though the number of them varies according to each story, the standard pattern of thirteen knights is accepted in “Fate/stay night”.
In the “Apocrypha” world, the separate splinters from the Round Table serve as summoning catalysts for Heroic Spirits. From among eleven of the knights (with King Arthur and Galahad excluded), the one most compatible to the Master is summoned through it. Like an S-rare definite ticket. Whether it be someone like Lancelot, Gawain, Tristan or Percival, no matter who comes, you truly get the cream of the crop. During these current times where subspecies Holy Grail Wars are popular, they appear in the market at high prices. Naturally, there are many frauds and swindlers. It’d be nice if a certain oil magnate got swindled.円卓の騎士【組織】
